So maybe first try:
Code:
sudo flatpak enter com.sigil_ebook.Sigil /bin/bash
or if the above does nothing, maybe try:
Code:
sudo -E flatpak enter com.sigil_ebook.Sigil /bin/bash
It's also possible they may need to be run while the Sigil Flatpak is running.
There's certainly a small difference whether the flatpak Sigil is running or not. I ran the code snippets from my prompt in my home directory. If Sigil is not running, all versions of your code (with or without sudo) return this error :
Code:
error: com.sigil_ebook.Sigil is neither a pid nor an application or instance ID
If Sigil is running, they append my home directory to my prompt and leave me with some process running. It needs 'exit' to return to the normal prompt.

I've been to the flathub website. Last time I when I had the inability to find java, it was really easy to find somewhere to place a query. This time, I can't find any reference to Sigil and I'll have to open an account. I'll leave that to tomorrow.
